"Post Wall Post Square" by Kristina Spohr appears to be a fascinating verbal illustration of everything that happened in the years surrounding the downfall of the Soviet Union, from the perspective of each world leader.

My usual reading list consists of tech books, but I figured I'd change it up a little to have a bit of an escape.
> Antweiler says Harbour Air is in the "sweet spot" in the industry as its flights are short, meaning battery technology as it stands today makes the project viable.
This works for technical topics, but quickly falls apart in certain topics of conversation. When a user-base skews one way politically, this is a terrible feature. People are blind to the fact they're chiseling their own echo chamber.

Edit: how is downvoting political opinions (and therefore reducing the post's visibility) beneficial to anyone? It's a shallow way to make the down-voter feel good temporarily, and dissuades actual discussion of other philosophies. At the very least, political downvotes should require a response.
The 3GPP standard leaves a lot of implementation freedom in many areas and there is a huge number of patents on everything. So in practice licensing is a big issue and keeps new entrants at bay.

Nokia thinks it is in good shape because without Huawei there is indeed not many threats. Starting from scratch is hugely costly and takes many years. In any case Nokia has no choice but to be "committed" to Open RAN since that's what telcos want.

IMHO, Open RAN is a push by telcos to commoditize the infrastructure and to avoid being locked in because key interfaces are proprietary.
I'm so glad we had a complex systems theorist to explain this! Who knew the poor had an epistemic constraint that prevented them from perfectly predicting the future? Now we can finally see the mathematics that suggest we should take collective actions to distribute risk and generate equitable outcomes. Wow, this will work so much better than what we were trying to do before, I only wish we'd known it earlier!

totally agree.. once my account on Revolut was blocked, without explaining why, and was kept locked for 6-7 months. during these months they asked all sorts of documents, and then they closed the account and the rest of the money which was on that account were sent to some strangers :) and again, without any explanations. now, copies of my documents are sitting somewhere on their servers waiting to be hacked and distributed to criminals, who will use them to pass through KYC :)

This rings extremely true for me. I live in Norway, which in my experience is significantly more trusting than most other places, and it's wonderful. We do have other transaction costs though, like a fear of "bothering" each other. Different problem, similar effect.
Every time the term “UX” is dropped, what follows is incomprehensible vagueness dressed in bizarre jargon that would make postmodern grievance studies quiver in awe.

Is this perhaps a transformative critical framework that investigates a reductive analysis of social cohesion factors that lead to an embedded matrix of exploratory identity formation?

New methods of war and looting brought upon by the horse culture is a great documented case study we have of indigenous tribes in North America.

The "cowboys and Indians" stereotype that has been popularized around the world was really only a few tribes in N. America, and it lasted for only about 200 years from when the Spanish explorers left horses on the plains until the Indians were finally subdued. The vast majority of tribes in N. America were not nomadic, on foot, and are undocumented because they were long gone by the time Europeans arrived.

The Lakota in the north and the Comanche in the south were the two main tribes who mastered the horse, exterminated and pushed out every other tribe, and gave the most plausible defense against American settlers and troops. They were not native to the large areas they controlled when Columbus arrived. Over the next centuries, they mastered the horse, became "war machines", and together with their allies, completely annihilated the existing tribes in the areas we now consider their original "homelands".

It has been fascinating to watch recent events unfold, wherein various horrible things including direct threats to democracy have happened due to people increasingly being able to just completely make up stuff, and spread it around readily and effectively on unfiltered internet mediums, and a great number of people's immediate concern is that free speech may get quelled too much which will do great harm.

This here is another example, nobody did any voting security research, some Trump associates just made up the idea, and were able to easily spread that messages to millions of people, playing a large part in inciting an attempted coup. The maker of that device is now suing for damages, as they should, and your concern is free speech again.

It seems almost performative.
I think one (of many) factors propelling this trend is income inequality. Imagine you're in the grocery store checkout line with luxury foods and how uncomfortable it might be to make conversation with the clerk who may be working three jobs and trying to parent two children.

So we invented apps. Now we don't have to look up to hail a cab, we can look down at our phone. We don't even THINK about riding the bus (https://usa.streetsblog.org/2017/12/14/surprise-elon-musk-is...). We don't have to go into the store, we can have an Instacart employee leave them at our house without a trace that someone existed at all. We're stratifying into the Eloi and the Morlocks, but separated by the glass screen of a phone instead of layers of earth.
Inefficiencies present a net cost to society. In low trust environments, you see more generalism (fewer people to trust) and more nepotism (there's a social cost to cheating family members, so family members can be more trusted).
Do electric planes make any difference in terms of noise? When an electric vehicle is in motion most of the noise I can tell are from the tires.

A electric powered propeller plane would most likely still have most of its noise generated by the propeller, not the internal combustion engine. I presume the same is with jets.

Anyone actually involved in voting machine security research, and not just a fraudulent troll like Rudy Giuliani, welcomes this lawsuit. His unhinged spouting of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories has only harmed and discredited legitimate voting security research.
That analogy only works if lenders can only stop giving loans to one nation at a time. In reality, rates can be raised for any combination of nations simultaneously. It's not like the DRC looks like a good investment just because its not as bad as Venezuela.

That's really hyperbolic, I don't believe there's anything you can do in C++ that you can't do in Rust.

Your argument seems a lot more valid for Python, Java, as AFAIK in those languages you can't access raw memory.

I tried various methods and programs for several years until i found Typora for my note making, which is just a simple markdown-editor with a file-tree to the left, so i can view my different folders and switch between notes easily. I'm an introverted individual who thinks a lot about different topics almost constantly.

The reasons why it helps me:

1. Thoughts are easily forgotten. I think a lot, but i also forget a lot. Taking notes helps me to actually remember those thoughts for a later date, so that they don't go to waste and i can act upon them.

2. Thoughts clutter up my brain. When i don't write down what i think, then they pile up in my conscious and leave little space for other things i would rather focus on. This might look like i'm contradicting myself with point 1, but there is a difference between trying to not forget something and having it memorised.

3. Thoughts aren't formulated in comprehensive sentences. For a lot of these thoughts i have more of a feeling that i realised something or that i've made a break-through somewhere. Writing them down helps me make sense out of them and internalize them more.

4. I write down the things that i don't want to remember. I would rather learn about the things i really want to remember, then what function B in framework A does and how it connects to C.

The way i take notes is really lightweight. I have build up a simple system on how i write everything, because i don't wanna waste my time with reorganizing and building up smart structures for my notes. I don't bother with making them look nice, because it is meant as a second brain for me and not something i can brag about in front of other people. I don't care about grammar or doing something the "right way", the knowledge is the focus.

In terms of getting in the way of productivity. I noticed that i can be more productive with taking notes, because i can prevent solving the same problem twice and everything i've learned is easily accessible somewhere, i just gotta look for it.
The flat earth doc (Behind the Curve) made a point that stuck with me. We are all flat earthers in some way in our life, where we don't accurately look at reality. I'm sure everyone can find something in their life where they are a 'flat earther'.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_belt

> Contrary to popular imagery, the asteroid belt is mostly empty. The asteroids are spread over such a large volume that it would be improbable to reach an asteroid without aiming carefully. Nonetheless, hundreds of thousands of asteroids are currently known, and the total number ranges in the millions or more, depending on the lower size cutoff.

> The high population of the asteroid belt makes for a very active environment, where collisions between asteroids occur frequently (on astronomical time scales). Collisions between main-belt bodies with a mean radius of 10 km are expected to occur about once every 10 million years.[72]

I think it would be nice to look in [72] to see if it has the probability that a 1m meteorite hits your head if you are nearby Ceres. It should be more frequent than the 10km meteorite they are discussing, but perhaps it's still low enough to be ignore it.

I thought that it was interesting that Gabe was using The Matrix as a comparison for BCIs since that movie was a warning about what this kind of tech could bring, but he did express a lot of concern around more real-world ramifications around what this technology could bring if it wasn't properly used or secured. What he was describing then reminded me more of the movie Strange Days where people would use neural connectors to record and play back experiences from others, but amplifying the signal too much would result in scrambled neurons.

Tsukamoto is one of the most underappreciated / unpopular great japanese director overseas. I never understood why he was never famous especially when Hideo Nakata, Kyoshi Kurosawa, Kitano, Koreeda (and Miike for audition) are super popular.

As long as potentially hackable voting machines are used in elections, the anxiety about hacking will be there and will eventually be exploited by politicians. If we want to fix the issue, we really just need to move back to hand counting paper ballots.
Guy came in his turck, got a bunch of packages in his hands when exited the vehicle, dropped off some of the packages, he had one package in his hand when got back and left. Few minutes later the notification came that my package was delivered. I was trying to understand who is stealing my packages, maybe neighbours or somebody breaking in after the delivery guys leaves. This was in a gated community. Finally I understood it was the driver. I called amazon about it but nothing happened. They just refunded me and did not do anything about it. Financially this is "optimal" for them (as least in the short run). I have never ordered anything to that address anymore and I started to use the company address in the city in a building that has 24 hour staff.
I’m reminded of an xkcd alt text, “ There are lots of very smart people doing fascinating work on cryptographic voting protocols. We should be funding and encouraging them, and doing all our elections with paper ballots until everyone currently working in that field has retired.”

I've been enjoying Codespaces. It's really slick. My Macbook Air was having trouble running all of the development tools I wanted use. Moving everything to the cloud - including Postgres, Redis, backend dev server, linting, and frontend Nuxt server - means my battery life has improved and I could even be developing on a $200 chromebook.

I know I'm missing out on the ability to develop code while offline - e.g., on an airplane. But, in my experience - modern code increasingly relies on webhooks and APIs for basic functions. So, I think most web app code can't be expected to be run in an "offline" mode once it reaches sufficient maturity.

>may come with undesirable side effects.

Such as messing with rainfall patterns in the tropics. I imagine people would be a good deal less forgiving of dying because of famine if it was caused by an informed choice by the first world, instead of an unintended consequence of industrialization.
> I assume the "five heap allocations" is kinda tongue in cheek? My understanding is that while it is good to avoid heap allocations, given this is a called-once piece of code, it's not really a big deal?

Indeed. :) I can't envision a circumstance where avoiding exactly five small allocations outside of any loop would be observable in either time or memory usage. As a Rust programmer it simply provides a warm and fuzzy feeling to avoid allocations in places where it not only doesn't obscure the code, but actually makes it shorter. At best, this could be a small step towards running your code on embedded hardware (which isn't unreasonable for an emulator like this), but only if you were to also eliminate all other allocations within your program.
I'm thinking it's sort of a balance/spectrum.

Some people (like me) have sort of a FOMO and would rather have the comfort of knowing they can access the information later, paying for it with organization/processing. (and yes, in most cases I can find it within seconds when I need)

Some would rather miss on information, but have less cognitive overhead, with minimal organization (e.g. a daily diary/todo-list, and that's it).

I'm also not sure it directly relates to doing 'productive' stuff (in whatever sense) -- there is certainly a plenty of people who don't keep track of any information, and also don't do much apart from passively consuming. You could be super concentrated on your work and have no mental energy for learning other subjects, or you could be more relaxed at work and be engaged in more topics outside of it.
From the article: "...Harbour Air is in the "sweet spot" in the industry as its flights are short, meaning battery technology as it stands today makes the project viable."

While batteries may not be viable for longer commercial flights, these short hops make sense.
>But these electric planes are just clearly worse than conventional planes. The batteries take up a lot of weight and weigh the same at the start of the flight as at the end, and while I'm sure battery technology will continue to improve, the weight issue is going to be a problem for a long time. Trying to pursue this commercially just seems like a quick way to lose a lot of money.

It makes sense for short flights. The vast majority of costs associated with aviation are in maintenance, with the majority of those costs coming from engine overhauls. This means you have a high fixed cost of operation per flight hour regardless of distance traveled/passengers carried. Electric motors will reduce that cost by orders of magnitude and make these small flights economically feasible.

> I'm not saying it won't work, just that it will be significantly more expensive than a conventional plane for the same performance for a long time to come.

The key is that you don't need the same performance of a piston engine aircraft. Batteries are just good enough now for these types of short flights to be possible. And with the maintenance savings, you come out ahead. Electric motors will also be vastly safer and more reliable than single engine piston aircraft, leading to insurance savings.
That was an interesting read. I'm left wondering "why" though. Anyone care to take a wild guess what they were after? That seems like quite a bit of work to be just doing it for no particular reason.
The worst time to own an electric car was when almost none were sold, with zero infrastructure.

Yeah, but we knew that when we bought a 2011 Leaf. But no one was going to build the infrastructure if no one bought electric cars, so... (And, fact is, we rarely charge it away from home, so charging infrastructure has been a thing a half dozen times in ten years.)

Ten years later, we look forward to the vast improvements in EVs when we eventually replace it.

Researchers usually have well research and evidence to back their claims which wouldn't put them at risk like Giuliani. Giuliani has also repeated these claims that have so far been unsubstantiated repeatedly even after being asked to retract them. There is some willful level malice implied in this lawsuit that is I think is not applicable to security researchers so I'm personally not worried but I do get the general sentiment whenever libel laws are brought up.

I've spent a lot of years overseas, in third-world or developing countries, often torn by tribal or civil war, or other natural and man-made disasters. I have come to realize how foundational trust is in a functioning economy and self-governing society. We in G8 nations often don't see it, like fish not thinking about water. I've been extremely concerned with the efforts of sub-groups in our societies attacking the foundations of trust. It's like watching people, on a boat at sea, tear up the hull for firewood... The irony is that the basic nature of people (the world over) really hasn't changed: people are msotly good and want to live in a healthy community. But culture, context, and experience can overrule those tendencies.
Also, if they are reporting the full equity amount on their offer letter, they may be forgetting to divide by the vesting period. I've met a number of otherwise smart folks think that since their salary is $120K and their full equity offer is $200K then their TC is $320K. There was an HN thread about this a couple of weeks ago. Levels.fyi guy said they try to account for this though in their surveys.

In addition this article is also strongly opinionated, charged with emotions, feels like stitched together without second reading IMHO. Like:

> It would allow operators to procure [...] with different players to piece together a 5G network, breaking the market power of “end-to-end” vendors like Ericsson and Nokia.

And later:
> the O-RAN Alliance. It's a standard-setting body that includes [...] leading vendors Ericsson and Nokia.

First, it doesn't work like that. They will still offer end-to-end deals, even with ORAN, it's just that winning conditions change. Second, why would companies support standardization effort that is supposedly intended to "harm" them? :D

> The operators, now barred by governments from using Huawei in several European markets, see Open RAN as a fix to what they consider a duopoly in the vendor market that allows Ericsson and Nokia to charge higher prices for 5G equipment.

I LOL'ed. From what I know, Ericsson and Nokia does not charge higher prices for 5G equipment due to duopoly, because that would be called price collusion and the journalists don't have proof to back it up. Also, Ericsson and Nokia are fighting each other for every piece of market share, I don't see how pumping up the prices would help here.
